JOSEPH H. CHoATEs ORA TORY UPSET

The recent reversal OF the verdict in the suit OF Stew
art against Huntington calls up memories OF the lively
legal struggle in which the late +. N. Bangs played
active part counsel and Joseph II. Choate showed
himself amaster in handling jury AT stage OF the
proceedings Mr. Choate about to read part OF the
evidence In the first trial of the Mr. Bangs OBJ
iecod. Mr. Cboate, who stood in his orite attitude
Of the penitental listener saturated with mildness,
gently intimated that he had desire to read the
testimony. whereupon Mr.. Bangs softly limited that
he had great objection, but that the reading would
be tircsome much there of the evidence. Very
WE'LL" responded Mr. Choate, If you object ! will
waive the matter" "Oh, make no formal objection"
Mr. Bangs replied not to be ontdone in poiteDcss
withdraw my objection" "Well, | guess III read u
them was the dcprccstory rejoinder, as Mr. Choate
quietly gathered himself together and read aloud Tor
half hour Mr. Bangs looked II be would never for
give his brother prar itioner.
Tho lawycrs for the defence decided not to put g. r.
Huntington on the stand and when MIR. Choate came
TO his summary he attacked the railroad magnate with
great bitterness. Mr. Huntington had gone away to
sttcud to BUSINESS and Mr. Choae djlated On what he
called the sneaking way" which the defendant had
come into court and without daring to face the evil
tcnce had sneakcd away again" The sarcasm and
rolIery with which Mr.. Choate filled his speech ticked
the ribs Of the jurymen, turned ner hearts toward the
insinuating lawyer, and resulted in a verdict Of
wIo2 O93 against c. r. Huntington. The General
Term has now upset Mr.. Choate's oratory.

of men, with none about you but your

have been here eight years and have
done poorly. You are in debt. For
